Non-Linear Neutrosophic Multi-Dimensional Transportation Problem with Dwell Time and Conveyance Capacity
Dipali V. Mane, Hemant P. Umap
Abstract
This paper introduces a multi-dimensional transportation problem that incorporates dwell time and conveyance
capacity in neutrosophic environment. The proposed model extends the traditional transportation problem by
considering multiple dimensions such as supply, demand, per-unit and fixed transportation costs, dwell time and
types of conveyance which makes it a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. The model is
constructed with the aim to optimize the total transportation cost and the overall transportation time. To tackle
the inherent uncertainty and imprecision in transportation parameters, the model employs Single-Valued Non-
linear Triangular Neutrosophic Numbers (SVNLTNNs). The neutrosophic model is then transformed into a
crisp format using proposed (
